Welcome to my fitness log

I've created this to keep everything to do with my fitness journey in one place for easy reference.
I've listed links to places I visit regularly or places I think are interesting or valuable resources.

I started doing Crossfit September 22nd 2009 and I loved it - it's totally awesome and it made me a better person in so many different ways!

After nearly 4 years of Crossfit and wrist injury I tried a home fitness DVD for a change and something new - Rip 60 was really great and then I found Beachbody / Tony Horton's P90X!
It's THE best home fitness program ever!!!
It changed my body in so many amazing ways and got my cardio fitness, my core and overall strength including push up strength better than ever before!!

I now do many Beachbody programs as they are all so great.
I 'm a big Tony Horton fan because he makes me work hard but makes me laugh at the same time.
After I completed P90X, I did P90X3, P90X2 and some P90X+. I''ve tried other Beachbody programs including the P90, Piyo, Focus T25,
21 Day Fix Extreme, Country Heat, BodyBeast and Insanity, The Aslyum 1 and 2. Completed 21 Day Fix and 22 Min hard Core.

Did some Insanity Max 30 and Core de Force but my knees can't handle jumping every day so I have to mix them in.
Shift shop is great and looking forward to the new 80 Day obsession.

I'm the fittest I've ever been in my life and still getting stronger every day!

Silly day at brandX forum today - no scaling was put up (not sure why yet) so we were all left floundering..

Warm up= arm swings/rotations, knee highs and side to side lunges with overhead press up, 5 abmat situps with arms cross chest feet unachored, then 5 with 1kg weight on chest, 5 abmat back extensions, then 5 with 1 kg held at chest, 10 push ups at mid thigh high bar, 10 o/h squats with dowel.
+ 3 Empty 2kg DB thrusters
091202
Using a single 60lb dumbbell, 3 rounds, 15-12-9 reps of: My own scaling...5kg DB, 3 rounds of 12-9-6
Thrusters right arm
Thrusters left arm
“One-arm” pull-up right arm (left hand grabs the right wrist) - I used black band assist without DB obviously
“One-arm” pull-up left arm (right hand grabs the left wrist) - I used black band assist without DB obviously

Done in 10.58mins (splits were 4.04,3.53,3.00)

I decided to scale it to something I could do - which I did. Cardio wise was tough on this one for me. I would have struggled with 6kg for sure. I used a fairly wide leg stance on my band to give a little more asisstance to pulls to keep the pace up to save it being a slog - that was probably not the idea - but as first time for 1 arm stuff I thought I would ease myself in to it.

Cashout: 10 (6,2,2) pushups at new lower thigh bar position - tough but I did it - yay more progress towords goal
